ARRANGET/IENT FOR REGULfi-TION OF SPEED GE OOIVIPENSATED SINGLE-PHASE MOTORS.

implication filed November 9,

off Compensated Single-Phase Motors, of

which the following is a sp'ecificati on. v

In our prior application, Serial No. 260,- 521, filed May- 15, 1905, weihavc disclosed -a compensated single-phase motor with. an

auxiliary stator oil. in quadrature with the main stator coil and which is provided with a variable number of turns for use in start ing and regulating the spced'of the motor. The variationin the ratio of the, ampere turns otthe auxiliary stator winding and the change in the value of the exciting current of the rotor in the arrangement .described in said prior application, effected by varying the number of turns of the auxiliary winding connected in circuit.

In our present invention the change in the ratio of the ampere turns of the auxiliar winding and the variation in the exciting current of the rotor is effected by shifting the position of the brushes leading the .ex-

citing current to therotor winding. in order that the position of the brushes may be thus changed we employ pairs of brushes electrically connected and provide that each of the brushes shall be adjustable toward and away from each other.

V For a more complete understanding of our invention, reference is made to the following description taken in-connection with the accompanying drawings, while the scope of the invention is to be determined by, con-' sideration ot the appended claims. I l igurel oi the drawings -is-.a diagrammatic illustration of our invention applied Qto a series motor; and Fig, 2 shows its adaptation to a shunt motor. Fig 3 shows the brush shifting n'iechanism.

In Fig; 1', the main stator winding S andthe auxiliary .winding QW, are displaced ninety degrees. It will be observed. that the connections with the auxiliary winding a-r so arranged that the number of active turns thereof be varied and themagnetic iield produced thereby maybe either in the same Specificatioii of Letters Patent.

y direction or in the opposite direction to that produced; by "the exciting current of: the rotor. The current is led to the commutator K of the rotor by means of three brushes, oi which B is connected to the auxiliary winding;- while B B are provided with a short circuit connection and are connected in series with the main stator winding. The brushes B vB, are each movable around the com nmtator and may be shifted simultaneously in a manner to alter their angular relation and the arc of the commutator embraced be tween them and at the same time maintaining the magnetic axis of the compensating circuit of the rotor Winding included by the short circuit between said brushes, substantially coincident with the axis oi": the stator winding S,'and in quadrature with the ex citing circuit of the rotor extending between the brush B and the pair of brushes B, B It apparent that by shiftingihe position of the brushes in the manner above described, the number of ampere turns included in the exciting circuit of the rotor may be varied'and that for any given number of active turns of the auxiliary winding (QVV, the ratio of the ampere turns of the exciting circuit of the rotor to that of the auxiliary winding may be changed, and that the speed of thevmotor may be varied in this manner.

Fig. 2 illustrates the manner in which our present invention may be applied to a shunt motor We have shown the exciting current led into the rotor by means of two pairsof short circuited brushes, B B and B B respectively, arranged upon opposite sides of the commutator and connected to the auxiliary winding Q'W and the main stator winding S,,the latter by means of an adjustable connection so as to include more or less of the winding in circuit therewith. Each pair of short-circuited brushes are arranged so that the members thereof maybe shifted 1 toward and from each other in the manner described in connection with the short-circuited pair of Fig, l, and the members of both pairs may be shifted;simultaneously; In this manner the compensated'field generated in the parallel short-circuited sections of the rotor winding embraced between the short circulted brushes, may always. be

maintained coincident with the field hi the I stator winding S, and in quadraturewith brushes bearing on said commutator and] 5 connected in circuit with said stator coils lines in presence of two witnesses. oirthe line of oneof said fields; and cer- ENGELBERT ARNOLD "tain of said brushes connected together on JENS LASSEN LA COUR. 5 the line of the other magnetic field and ar- \Vitnesses to signature of 1).
